Hi there! I’m Martine, an artist based in the heart of Utrecht.

My work expresses a deep connection with my surroundings.
I paint cityscapes and landscapes as I experience them, giving shape to moments of togetherness and shared life.
At times, human and animal figures appear side by side, reflecting emotion and connection in a quiet dialogue between humanity and the natural kin we share our Earth with.

Painting gives me direction and meaning. With every brushstroke, I translate my inner world — its rhythm, colours, and moods — into a visual story.
My paintings bring to life the energy of the world around me: colourful, layered, and in motion.

Through my eyes, Utrecht also comes alive with its iconic landmarks, hidden corners, and distinctive atmosphere.
Each painting is both a visual expression and a personal narrative, captured on canvas for others to experience in their own way.
